Powder on Fiber paper - Minnow

I was very enthused when I saw  a fish done with the fiber on paper - unfortunately the mold for it is 19" and the biggest kiln I have at this time is 12"  so I  have to think about that big kiln again -  I so want to make big bowls and  even sinks (I have the slumping molds for both)  so I need a kiln greater than 19" or more -  I have a local kiln maker called Tuckers that makes great kilns - and this would save me  money in shipping as I can pick up  - I will have to work this out and see how it goes - but I probably wont get one till next spring - too many things around the house need fixing

so comparatively  what I did this weekend was to make some basic tiny fish - compared to the 19"  - so minnows

from bottom - painted clear cap -  drawing - two powder on fiber paper - note that I realized I had to do it backwards as I like the paint reversed so I had to make two and then painted another to match 

still in the kiln but the bottom one was superb 

this is just the painted cap on the fused powder on paper with some fill powder before firing 

I also did a painted on to check it out 

this mornings minnow 


Giving eyes a rest - just basic beads

I know I only have 4 more to go to meet the goal of 25 dragon eyes - but  I need to just do some plain beads for a rest

All boro - somepinks/purples and blue/greens - a heart and a pendant 


More Dragon Eyes !

Today  3 more Dragon Eyes - only 4 more to go to get to my set limit

The box is full full full 
then I'll have to put the tears on them and put them on the cards 


Saturday Time in the Studio - Dragon Eyes

More Dragon eyes - I'm up to 18  only  7 more to make  and then I can try the double eye project





Friday - time in the Studio - Dragon eyes and fiber on paper playtime

Did some more dragon eyes on Friday as well as played with some fiber on paper

did some opposites to see what they would look like together 

of course I need to make them similar
